Padres score 6 in the ninth to stun Diamondbacks 8-7

PHOENIX -- The San Diego Padres have little to play for as the season winds down, but Saturday will certainly be a game they remember from 2017.

The Padres overcame a five-run deficit in the ninth inning to stun the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-7, with youngster Carlos Asuaje delivering the key hit.

Asuaje's single drove in the tying run, and an error by Arizona left fielder David Peralta allowed the go-ahead run to score.

"I can't say enough about the guys before me that set up that situation," Asuaje said.
